FRENCH CHAM q ER.
Triumph of the Ministry I'm the
Bill 40 strengthen the Army.


Bill 40 strengthen the Army.
PARIS, June 1l.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day the debate on the arm
bill was continued. Keller opposed the
two years service, which, he said, sac =
riticed quality to numbers. In order to
induce every one to accept a military
discipline it was necessary for the gov
ernment to show a Christian spirit.
France should initiate Germany, make
religious peace; and Keller appealed
to the Chamber not to discuss the vari-
Gus clauses of the bill.
General Ferron, Minister of War,
maintained that the law proposed was
first of all for the national defences. No
one denied the glory being achieved by
the old army, but France should make
gigantic efforts TO secure Independence.
Three years of service could not
lower the intellectual level of the nation.
All classes would be enlisted but the
studies of the student would be inter-
rupted as little as possible. The bill
ought to be absolute, though temperate.
General Ferron appealed to the patriot
ism Of the Chamber to pass the bill,
which, he said, was necessary for the
defense of France. His speech was
greeted with applause. Many members
moved urgency for the bit. General
Ferron left the matter OF urgency to the
discretion of the Chambers.
Clemenceau reproached the govern
ment for having no views of lis own on
such an important question, and be in
quired whether there was n tacit agree
ment between the Ministry and the
Right.
After an animated debate. the extreme
Left insisted that the government ex-
plain whether such was the case.
Rouvier declined to explain.
Urgency then voted. 359 TO 206. The
Chamber then, by 1856 to lbs. proceeded
to discuss the clauses of the bill.
Adjourned.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, June ia series
of experiments were made at Saucelito,
on San Francisco Bay, to-day with the
newly discovered nitro. glyceriue shells.
The shells were fired from a twenty
pound Parrot gun, a three pound
charge of powder being used. The first
experiment was successful, the shell
exploding on the opposite bluff ten sec
onds after leaving the gun. In the Sec
ond and third experiments the shells
used were defective, rotating end for
end instead of on their smaller axis, and
failed to explode. The fourth struck
the water, which extinguished the fuse.
In the fifth trial the gun was aimed into
the mud, and the shell exploding, sent
np a column of mud one hundred feet
into the air. The hole made by this
shell was eight feet in diameter and five
feet deep. The result was deemed very
satisfactory to the army experts present.

We landed at the Santa Ana

east and west, which gives an area Of
nearly two square miles; very con-

is much which really forms part of the
town. but as our investigation could not
go beyond these lines, il is omitted from
this report. We in person passed through
